Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Elevated arterial stiffness has been recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been associated with long-term worse clinical outcomes in several populations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender and time following one acute bout of moderate intensity resistance exercise on arterial stiffness in college-aged men and women. A total of 26 men (n = 14) and women (n = 12) completed three sessions: screening, familiarization, and testing in the order they are listed. There were no changes in pulse wave velocity or augmentation index in either men or women across time. Men did have significantly higher systolic blood pressure at baseline (p = .00, d =1.4), immediately post exercise (p = .01, d = 1.0) and 30 minutes post exercise (p = .04, d = .08) relative to women. Men also had significantly higher heart rates immediately post exercise (p = .02, d = 0.9) and 30 minutes post exercise (p = .04, p = 0.9) when compared to women. The lack of change in parameters of arterial stiffness suggest moderate intensity exercise does not increase arterial stiffness in college-aged adults.
